Set against the magnificent backdrop of the CHÂTEAU DE FERRIÈRES just outside Paris, this editorial shoot captured the spirit of modern love and high fashion with impeccable style. Led by WONDERLINE WEDDING, the creative direction brought together a dream team of vendors to craft a celebration that fused contemporary elegance with timeless romance — all through the lens of photographer AUDE LUCAS.
Fashion-Forward Bridal Style
At the heart of this editorial was a strong fashion narrative. Two stunning bridal looks anchored the shoot, each reflecting a different facet of modern femininity. For the daytime portion, a gown by ALINA MARTI took center stage, characterized by clean lines and understated sophistication. As the sun dipped, the mood shifted dramatically with a second look: a show-stopping evening gown by STEVENS ISHAY, adorned with extravagant feather detailing — the ultimate statement for a stylish celebration.
The bride’s look was polished with radiant, dewy makeup by ALESIA SOLO MUAH, creating a fresh, effortless beauty. Accessories added refined layers of texture and meaning, with delicate handcrafted pearl jewelry by SO HELO and colorful gemstone wedding bands by MAISON ARTANER injecting vibrant personality into the ensemble.
This beautiful interplay of modern imagery and traditional artistry added depth to the narrative, blending past and present seamlessly.
It was a full expression of what a modern wedding can be: personal, emotional, and rich with thoughtful design.
Artful Florals and Thoughtful Decor
Floral artistry by EMPREINTE NUMÉRO 8 transformed the château’s grand interiors and manicured grounds into a floral dreamscape. The reception space broke from tradition with a continuous floral runner that connected several round tables, a modern and visually striking approach. The fireplace, dressed in lush blooms, created a cozy yet opulent focal point inside.
The ceremony setup was equally impactful. Rather than a traditional arch, a ground circle of flowers framed the couple against the château’s iconic facade, offering a modern yet organic alternative to classic altar designs. Adding nostalgic charm to the celebration, LES PETITES GERMAINES provided vintage mismatched tableware that perfectly balanced the contemporary floral designs with a hint of old-world romance.
Meaningful Ceremony and Festive Touches
The ceremony itself, officiated by Cynthia Legathe of My Celebrant, was rich with emotion, made even more magical by the live music of violinists Maëline (Ma Musiiic) and Diego Cluster. Their soulful performances set an intimate tone, creating unforgettable memories for the couple.
In keeping with the celebration’s playful spirit, dessert was a modern twist on a classic — a vibrant red berry vacherin by K & Kakes. In a sweet interactive moment, the couple layered the fruit and sugar themselves, symbolizing their shared future. Bespoke cocktails crafted by Shoneys Bar Events further elevated the festive mood, offering guests a taste of Parisian chic.
Capturing Every Beautiful Moment
Photography and videography were essential to bringing the editorial’s vision to life. AUDE LUCAS’S luminous, romantic style perfectly captured every detail, from the fashion highlights to the candid, emotional moments. Stéphane Morin of WEDDING MEMORY FILMS provided the cinematic counterpart, preserving the energy and movement of the day.
Adding a personal artistic element, illustrator LILI TAKENO created live sketches of the couple, some of which were later incorporated into the photos and video. This blending of illustration and imagery added a unique, whimsical layer to the visual storytelling.
Timeless Stationery with a Contemporary Twist
No detail was overlooked in crafting a cohesive experience. BONJOUR PAPER designed wedding stationery that echoed the shoot’s aesthetic — classic yet distinctly modern. Delicate illustrations by LILI TAKENO graced the paper goods, creating a throughline of elegance and artistry from the invitation suite to the day-of details.
A Celebration of Modern Love and Creativity
This editorial at CHÂTEAU DE FERRIÈRES was not just an exercise in style — it was a full expression of what a modern wedding can be: personal, emotional, and rich with thoughtful design.
With creative direction by WONDERLINE WEDDING and breathtaking imagery by AUDE LUCAS, this project serves as an inspiring blueprint for couples looking to weave fashion-forward sensibilities and heartfelt storytelling into their own wedding day.
Because at the end of the day, weddings aren’t just about tradition — they’re a beautiful canvas for creativity, connection, and celebrating love in all its modern forms.
